Captive of Darkness by Debbie CassidyMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
A Strange Faery Tale
This book is confusing and difficult to follow, but I could not stop reading it. Each step on the journey could be the step that made everything clear, so I could understand what the heck was going on.
Wynter lives in Justice Falls, a place where people disappear every year and then no one remembers them, except for a very select few. Wynter is one of those people and she lives with her drunk of a father and Finn, a man who was taken into her home as a 10 year old.
Then one day Finn is one of the taken and Wynter will not allow him to to be one of the disappeared. She ventures into the chasm that cuts Justice Falls off from the rest of the world. She enters a world of darkness, pain and torment where the residents don’t remember who they are, they are made up of pure instinct.
Wynter is a strong and determined character, who will not let go of the man she loves. Though she’s smart enough to be scared, she is incredibly brave and will not give up. When in the chasm she is not alone for long, when Veles a strange and powerful demon-like creature saves her.
Veles has been lost to instinct for an unknown amount of time, because he has no memory of the time before. All he knows when he meets Wynter is that he has to help her. He is driven to it.
There are so many dream-like sequences in this book that it is hard to determine what is meant to be reality and what is illusion. It’s probably not a book to read when you are tired because otherwise you will end up with very strange dreams.
I’m definitely intrigued enough to continue my read, because I was provided with enough information in the last couple of chapters, that I’m determined to find out what happens next.
